Rudraksha - the word instills in me reverence, bewilderment and a longing to see the tree. Very popular among spiritual seekers, the rudraksha creates a unique cocoon of vibrations and has some inter magnetic vibrations too. As widely known, the rudraksha, meaning the tears of Shiva or the eyes of Shiva, comes in many varieties depending on the number of faces. With every variation, the rudraksha is believed to bless the seeker with special benefits. The Dwimukhi or the two faces Rudraksha is believed to increase happiness in a married life. I recently got two of them from the Isha Yoga Center. And when they arrived, I was totally bewildered by the beautiful bead and kept looking at them and observe them for a long while. Rudrakshas can be purchased at the Isha yoga center shoppe .
